Backlight Sunlight

I've seen quite a few photos taken recently into the sun during the golden hour at sunset. They are stunning. These are not silhouettes or overexposed, just golden goodness.

We took a trip down to Cape Range National Park to camp by the reef, so being by the beach watching the sun go down, I took the opportunity to give this technique a go.

I found some purple flowers in the sand that added some tremendous colour to the landscape, and were lit up with the back light of the sun. So, I crouched down, at all costs preventing my camera from falling into the sand and causing disaster, and started shooting away. I'm pretty happy with the result - as always, not quite what I had pictured but you get the idea.
